Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize Family & Community: Weave in the "family-owned" aspect and a sense of belonging for customers. Use inclusive language like "our Bast Brothers family" or "your local garden friends."
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Your Knowledge: Instead of just saying "we're experts," provide valuable tips, insights, and highlight the quality and careful selection of products. Explain *why* a plant is special or how to care for it.
• •Keep it Friendly and Approachable: Use a conversational style. Ask questions, use emojis where appropriate (especially on social media), and maintain a positive, welcoming voice. Avoid overly technical jargon unless explained simply.
• •Highlight Local & Quality: Consistently mention "locally-grown," "hand-picked," and "finest quality" to reinforce these core values. This builds trust and justifies any premium.
• •Be Visually Descriptive and Inspiring: Use evocative language that paints a picture, especially when describing plants, decor, or the store experience. Appeal to the senses and the desire for a beautiful home and garden. Match the copy to the high-quality visuals you use.

Social Perception

Highly Positive, "Hidden Gem" / Destination, Trendy & Inspiring, Trusted Local Business, Slightly Premium
